Are you new to Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant or new to Mexican food? If so, you may wonder where to start! At Rio Grande, we always start your visit with the popular Tex-Mex tradition of complimentary chips with our freshly made salsa. It’s a great segway into our fun atmosphere, signature drinks, and authentic Mexican cuisine.
If you have never tried authentic Mexican cuisine, it’s time! Authentic Mexican food stands out from other options that don’t even compare.
We only serve Mexican food and give it everything we have. Come visit your local Rio and appreciate the Mexican flavors, tastes, and culture—Rio Grande style!
The Classic Rio Margarita
If you’ve never been to our restaurant, there are several dishes you must try on your first visit. But you must start with our signature drink, the Classic Rio Margarita. It’s what we’re known for. Enjoy the flavors of tequila, salt, and lime mixed to perfection, served frozen or on the rocks.
If you want to get adventurous and enjoy a fruit infusion, our margaritas are also available in delicious flavors like strawberry, mango, and manberry.
Margaritas are a Mexican dinner staple as they complement the spicy, savory flavors. They contain tequila, which has long been used in Mexican culture and celebrations. We mix them up like no other restaurant, making them a must-try for first-timers.
Guacamole
Guacamole is another menu item you can’t leave without trying. Order it as an appetizer or extra, or enjoy it in many of our beloved dishes. Our guacamole is house-made with pico de gallo, cilantro, and cotija, ensuring optimal flavor.
Guacamole is a must for Mexican food lovers. The creamy avocado tames the spicy flavors and pairs fabulously with chips or fresh veggies.
Another reason to love guacamole is its versatility. It can be a dip for chips or fresh veggies and adds flavor to burritos, quesadillas, and other Mexican dishes. What’s your favorite way to eat guacamole?
Rio Fajitas
Fajitas have been Rio Grande’s signature dish since we opened in 1986, and they keep getting better.
Start by choosing the type of fajita you want. Whether you want one for one person or two to share, we’ve got you covered. We offer succulent skirt steak, juicy chicken, delectable shrimp, and healthy grilled veggies. You can also mix and match them with one of our fajita combos: Surf and Turf or Skirt Steak and Chicken!
All fajitas are served with fresh grilled veggies, Spanish rice, rich black beans, cheese, fresh guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Wrap the ingredients in our house-made flour or corn tortilla and tuck into an exquisite culinary experience.
Enchiladas
Enchiladas have long established themselves as a staple of Mexican cuisine. Their history dates back to when the Aztecs wrapped corn tortillas around fish. They have developed throughout the years and are now available in several varieties.
Rio Grande has perfected the art of enchiladas, making them a recommended menu option at all of our locations. We offer various filling options, including a red crab and shrimp jack option, perfectly sauteed chicken, vegan veggie, and a cheese and onion combination.
Our sauces and sides bring our enchiladas to life. They are topped with authentic enchilada sauce and served with perfectly prepared rice and sumptuous black beans.
Rio Classic Chile Rellenos
Chile rellenos is another Mexican dish you may not have tried before. If so, allow us to introduce you to this unique culinary experience! Our Chile Rellenos are roasted and stuffed in-house daily—no shortcuts here.
We start by roasting a chile pepper to bring out its flavor profile and texture. The pepper is stuffed with gooey cheese, sauteed veggies, savory rice, hearty black beans, and your choice of sauce.
The peppers are served baked to appease healthy eaters or ordered fried to enjoy a crispy, crunchy experience.
